Did you read any of the replies?  There's talk of this being something to do with this being a leap year and the fact that the failure happened when the year normally would have switched if it weren't and switching the date has been used to fix the problem.

If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen

I have a 30GB Zune at home.  I haven't turned it on in a few days, I'll give it a try when I get home from work to see if I am one of the lucky ones.

Either way it sounds like it should fix itself once the calendar roles to 1/1/2009.

you can't switch the date it won't reset or unfreeze. the computer don't recognise it either. some people took it apart to take the battry out and that helped
